The Liber Annuus (an annual of about 500 pages)
publishes biblical, linguistic and archaeological studies. It also
includes preliminary reports on the excavations conducted by the
professors of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum in
Jerusalem and their coworkers from Israeli and other scholarly
institutions.

The journal was founded by a professor of the Studium
Biblicum Franciscanum in Jerusalem between 1950/1951. It is
the Institution’s Annual (Year Book), and showcases the
scholarly contributions of its professors according to their
diverse fields of research. Their studies are supplemented by a
number of contributions offered by scholars from other scientific
and academic institutions.

Besides exegetical, linguistic, and literary studies on the Old
and New Testaments, Liber Annuus publishes works on the
History and Archaeology of the Biblical world in general, and of
Judaism and Early Christianity in particular.

Each year the archaeologists of the Studium Biblicum
Franciscanum publish here the first reports of excavations
carried out in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Egypt.
